Charges laid after CN trains clocked speeding
Four charges of speeding have been laid against Canadian National Railways after trains were clocked by radar by Milton OPP. Halton Crown Attorney Peter K. McWilliams ordered the force to review train speeds following a Christmas Eve fatality at the Mansewood crossing in Esquosing Township that killed two Milton teenagers. At an inquest, crewmen testified speeds of 40 to 50 mph. A 1903 Railroad Act ruling was found omitting trains to 10 mph over a crossing where protective signals are ordered but not yet installed. Protective devices for the Mansewood crossing were ordered last November and are to be installed within 10 months.
